Apple Watch Pre-Orders Are A Success

There’s Much Expected Success From The Apple Watch

According to pre-order projections from Slice Intelligence, a firm that tracks and projects US consumer spending through e-commerce email receipts, has spilled the beans on Apple’s newest gadget and says that the Apple Watch is on a solid start.

Apple received almost one million US watch pre-orders on Friday, April 10, its first day of accepting orders. This is based on receipts from 9,080 online shoppers.

Almost two-thirds of pre-orders were for the less expensive, aluminum Sport line, which starts at $349. About one-third of pre-orders were for the stainless-steel Apple Watch collection, which starts at $549. The gold “Edition” series, which starts at $10,000, didn’t represent enough US pre-orders to show up in Slice’s report.

The average selling price per watch was about $504. The average order was for 1.3 watches.
